Deal Details
Pre-ordered iPhone 16 Pro today and found that trade-in values for iPhone 12 (all memory configurations) results in $1000 value.

Rather than trade-in my iPhone 13 Pro (256GB) as planned, I purchased a refurbished iPhone 12 (64GB for $254 (including tax) and put it on the order as my trade-in. I will then attempt to sell my iPhone 13 Pro for $400+. Not a huge money maker, but I'd rather get as much as possible out of the offer.

Note: iPhone 12 mini does not seem to be valued at $1k

You could have bought a new iphone 12 from metro for $130 instead of paying 200+ for the same phone, fwiw.

This is ideal for someone staying with at&t and happy to use an iPhone 16 Pro for 36 months.

I just assumed activation would be required and didn't want the hassle. No?

Would expect activation takes but a few minutes.

So you will be stuck on $76 + taxes & fees monthly plan for 36 months just to save $20 a month on equipment charges?
